  1. MrHappy - you are quite right ? To be clear, as maybe I used the wrong terms, I want the backlight off at all times unless the alarm is actually sounding (i.e. has been triggered)
  2. Spending the time explaining my problem here has perhaps helped me to find the answer. Reading the main Texecom Premier Elite Series manual again (INS176-15) I realised I was mis-reading the Output Areas. I think I can achieve what I want by setting Output 1 on the 64-W panel to be: Group: Area Type: 00 - Alarm Attributes: none (or maybe L for Latching) However, the output is -ve, so do I need to connect the black -ve backlight wire to this and the red backlight wire to ground?
  3. Hi all, I am connecting a wired sounder to my Texecom Premier Elite 64-W control panel as I don't want to be climbing a high ladder to change the batteries on the wireless sounder. I have chosen the Odyssey X-B sounder back plate. This model includes a backlight. Out of the box the backlight is lit permanently as it is wired directly to the +12V supply terminal. I do not wish the backlight to be lit 24/7. This is easily achieved by disconnecting the back light from the +12V supply. However, I would like the back light lit when the alarm is activated. The installation manual INS627-2 suggests this is possible. From the manual under section "Backlight wiring options": Can anyone offer me some guidance on how to do this please? Is it simply a case of connecting the backlight to the -ve strobe supply on the back plate or do I need to connect the back light power cable to an output on the panel as stated above? In which case how should the output group, type and attributes be configured? If I am already using all 8-cores in 8-core cable then I assume I need a 9th core to connect the backlight to the panel (which would have to come from a second length of x-core cable)? Can I just choc block this 9th core to the back light power supply cable? Thanks in advance - any help appreciated
  4. Thank you all for your comments. Yes I have used a 2.3aH battery. The alarm is actually the Accenta G3 Mini so I believe this is the correct battery. It was a like for like swap and the new battery fits in the unit. By putting the unit in engineering mode, there was no tamper alarm triggered. The new battery had an off-load voltage of 12.7V so was charged on supply (obviously a good thing for lead sealed acid batteries). I haven't checked the old one. However, on swapping the battery the alarm no longer triggers when there is a power cut. With regard to the charging circuit, only time will tell..... Thanks again
  5. Thank you for this. I have just picked up a battery this morning so will swap it shortly. The CU change is tomorrow so there should be sufficient time for the battery to charge. My only worry is the replacement battery has a spade terminal at either end. I don't know if the original battery is the same physical layout - I am assuming so as the cells look to be in series (in a physical straight line).
  6. Thank you for your reply. I have just come to that conclusion and was about to ask for confirmation so your help is appreciated . I will pick up a new battery tomorrow. I think I will be OK installing it. Will engineer mode stop the tamper alarm siren or will I just need to trip the tamper, then reset the alarm and then replace the battery? Thanks again
  7. I hope someone can help me. I have bought a new house (I really have honest!) with an Ade Accenta G3 mini. The previous owner has given me the user code and the engineering code is luckily still the default. When I disconnect the power (it is currently on the upstairs lighting ring) the alarm enters an alarm state and the siren sounds. This makes sense but I need to disconnect the power to fit a fan isolator and an electrician is also fitting a new consumer unit. Given I have access to the engineering mode, is it possible to temporarily disable the alarm so disconnecting the power doesn't trigger the alarm? All I can think of is setting the alarm bell to have a siren time of 1 minute so at least the neighbours will only have to endure 60 seconds. Any assistance would be appreciated.
